Greener Pastures

The BC Standardbred Horse Adoption Society is dedicated to changing the lives of horses and humans by finding homes and safe havens for the Standardbred Horse. The Greener Pastures Program involves volunteers that are dedicated to providing a second chance at productive lives for those horses by supplying care, shelter,retraining and adoption services for retired horses donated into our program by their racing owners.

Greener Pastures is a registered non-profit charitable organization and has been in operation since 2003. In that short time a small group of dedicated people have been responsible for placing over 130 Standardbred horses into recreational homes! Our horses in the program range in age of 3 to 15.The young uns in the program simply have found that being a racehorse isnt their 'forte" ,the older ones are just ready to retire.

The Standardbred is an ideal recreational horse with a calm disposition,sensible mind and a friendly outlook!

They can and do, compete in different disciplines. Jumping, Dressage, Endurance and of course, Driving!

Our horses have all been started under saddle but are still in "kindergarten" when it comes to being ridden. Unless experienced in training green horses, we suggest hiring a trainer/coach to help the horse continue learning its new skills.

GP has found itself some wonderful Green Pastures to call home. The luscious 40 acre Allbury Farm in Abbotsford houses all our lucky horses during training. A simple one stop visit gives you a chance to meet all the candidates. We look forward to working in the year round facilities so choosing your new partner can happen in comfort any time of year! By appointment only please!
